Del Mar Dental Arts

Del Mar Dental Arts gets 5 stars from me! After years of avoiding the dentist my girlfriend recommended that I book an appointment here. The staff was very accommodating and understanding especially when it came to my fear of needles.
My overall experience was above and beyond anything I had expected and I am relieved to have found a dentist that takes pride in their work and has reasonable prices.

I’m giving Del Mar Dental Arts 5 stars because my experience there was exceptional. I went in yesterday in a lot of pain. I had fractured a tooth and Dr. Ghassemi was able to do same day work. I didn’t feel the shot one bit. During the work, I had felt a little sensitivity so I raised my left hand (as he advised me to if I felt pain) and he quickly stopped and numbed me up more. Dr. Ghassemi explained the procedure as he went along so time seemed to fly by. I left with a new tooth (same day crown) and no pain. I highly recommend Del Mar Dental Arts! Friendly, professional, and great work!

I had nothing but a great experience at this office. My whole family went there and received a quality dental work. The staff was very friendly. My last teeth cleaning was excellent. They have a new lady who did an outstanding job. Dr. Mojaver has been my dentist for about 20 years now and I have been very happy with her work. She is very gentle, skilled and experienced dentist who keeps up with the latest technology in dentistry. Dr. Ghassemi is a wonderful doctor as well and my kids felt very comfortable with him. I have sent my friends there and they all have been very pleased. I recommend this office.

I went there for cleaning and to have a cavity filled. The cleaning was so intense my teeth ached for over a week! I’ve never experienced that before. I am a nervous patient who usually has nitrous even for cleaning (they don’t offer it here) but I have never had pain from a simple cleaning. As for the filling, the next day it felt like nothing had been done. Yesterday, my new dentist told me the filling was cracked so that’s why it felt odd when I run my tongue over it. My daughter had an appointment there last year and was informed she had 3 minor cavities. The treatment plan they sent me included $ 135 for «desensitiz resin» for the 3 teeth. When I called about that I was told that is used on bigger cavities, which my daughter didn’t have. Our new dentist looked at that treatment plan and said her cavities weren’t even as bad as the plan indicated and this was months later when they could have gotten worse. I had difficulty reaching the office manager there and getting my calls returned. The kicker was requesting my dental xrays to be sent to my new dentist for comparison purposes and they wanted $ 25 for copying them because they were film, not digital. Why not just give me the films I already paid for? And who doesn’t use digital? Looking at another review, I’m not the only one who’s had this happen. The dentist I used before Dr. Ghassemi? They cheerfully sent my digital xrays to my current office at no charge.

Dr. Ghassemi and the rest of the GM Dental Arts staff have been excellent to me and my teeth. I had to visit for crown lengthening surgery, which I had heard was a very unpleasant procedure. Dr. G and his staff were informative during the whole process and everything went very smoothly. The procedure was relatively painless, and within a couple days things were healing nicely.
As someone who has tons of problems with his teeth, finding the best dentist around is very important. I would recommend Del Mar Dental Arts to both individuals and families, and am hoping to do Invisalign with them soon as they have a great deal going on. They have a second location Downtown, which is convenient for where I work.

I went there sometime last fall for a teeth cleaning.
A not very experienced lady started cleaning my teeth… very clamzy. So, I had no choice but to stop her. So, the doctor had to finish it. He was very nice despite my attitude.
However, I was given an estimate for $ 800+ for 3 fillings that I all of a sudden needed. I do regular cleaning and all the dentists I ever see always complement me on my teeth and oral hygiene. I don’t understand how all of a sudden I could get 3 cavities! So, 6 months later I go to a different dental office and it turns out that I did not need any fillings, as I suspected. Wow! They are just trying to make money of their patients.
For my next appointment at a different dental office I wanted to get my last X-​Rays from this office. So, I called to have them sent the X-​Rays to me via email. Well, they do not know how to operate a scanner and did not want to figure out how to send the electronic copy of my X-​Rays. Instead, they said that for $ 25 I could come and get a copy of them. Well, it is not on my way! I am not driving there! Besides, it is 2012 and I think I can rightfully demand an electronic copy of my X-​Rays. Driving to get somethings that can be sent to me via email? Shame on you!

I initially came to Del Mar Dental Arts because of a referral from a friend who’s a long time patient of their 2^nd Dental office in Poway. They are wonderful at this office from the helpful and knowledgable secretary, they WONDERFUL hygenist, the great dental assistants, and the extremely personable dentist. Dr. Ghassemi made both my husband and I comfortable with our dental work. That’s saying alot considering my husband is TERRIFIED of visiting the dentist and needs alot of work done. My overall value rating is decreased because the office is pretty pricey for services rendered. Regardless, they always advise you what you need done and what is required to be done, so you can make the decision of how to proceed with your dental care.
